Overview:

In Übach, GIs worked in concert with tanks of the 743rd Tank Battalion, which blew open the doors of boarded-up houses, allowing infantry to enter and clear out anyone remaining. House-to-house fighting went on all night, with lines never more than a building apart, and frequently resulted in foes separated by only a ceiling or wall. German counterattacks on the morning of 4 October, employing similar tactics as the Americans and supported by artillery, recaptured several buildings while bypassing other American positions, including the L Company headquarters. The order was given to push the Germans back.

Scenario info

The scenario starts off out-of-the-ordinary, then becomes a battle to take buildings. As the German, try to give ground slowly and use lots of half squads to keep building control. Make a dummy tank, of course.

Quite a few fun bits: random rubble, forced overlapping setup zones, spontaneous 2-3-6 creation. Andy clobbered me in CC and Germans did not like morale checks. I managed to wipe out his tanks and drive my stug into a building, though, so at least I had a moral victory. Unsure what I should have done differently. Great board.
